    I put a ? after the topic because it is a bit controversial; though perhaps not so much as in years past, but that may be just my own perception. Anyway, I am in a class in which that is the subject, and I think the only thing shown so far is that many people have not made up their minds as to their own gift (if any), SG's v. lalents/natural abilities, cessation of all SG's or some SG's, ...

    Please check the poll answers with which you agree, and/or give your positions or perceptions about SG's as doctrinal topic.
